They cut the availability in half this wipe. It used to be 180 per reset. Every new piece of becomes available quickly ind for cheap for testing purposes. If it's in the meta, it gets used a lot and tested for bugs. Once that's done, it becomes a lot less available. A story as old as time
Finally, some love for the .300 black out. Since not many people use the MCX, and it's the only .300 gun, it's easy to get ammo. It's also very cheap to kit out, and accept almost any m4 attachment while still having access to some of the best muzzle attachments from 7.62x5.
Ive been running this gun for awhile now. Ever since the armor changes, I've been looking at any 30+ pen ammo as ammo worth running, as aramid can only go up to class 3, therefore if you aim at the gap between the front plate and the neck, or just flesh dmg them with sheer firerate, you will always almost kill them, even with just BCP FMJ.
For pistol grips, I know the Ergo PSG-1 has the exact same stats as the Gral while costing more money, but it looks so damn cool that I'll always choose it over the Gral. Especially with the CQR foregrip, you've got yourself a very nice looking gun. I know the meta used to be just recoil and now it's a combination of recoil and ergonomics, but my meta will always be a balance of recoil, ergonomics, and aesthetics :)
the DD stock is simply 2 more recoil and 2 more ergo vs the moe. I only use it on guns that already have low recoil like smgs or that need high ergo like DMRs.
That moa makes the mcx only useful in a smg role. I have been working on a video explaining moa on my channel but since weapons have no horizontal spread in offline or the hideout it is slow going. Im about to say screw it and make it without in game footage. Gigabeef you should do some testing to confirm if horizontal weapon spread is broken offline.
It was even better when CBJ was not available only on level 4 PK. Without CBJ it's just meh, so *yet another* gun that was pushed away from mid-wipe options, which is a shame.
@@wurfyy nooope Giga even called it, its like a jumped up sub machine gun and when you used it like one it was always sick AF except it could still punch a clean headshot at 100 meters. Especially back then when the top ammo was so easy to get this thing was a budget HK, melted people in CQB like no other.
Tubes should be nerfed or tubeless stocks should be buffed. It makes absolutely no sense that weapons that don't have a spring behind the chamber should be forced to put all this nonsense since it's dead weight.
Don't try to apply logic to Tarkov's modding. It's purely based on the rule of cool and Nikita's (broken) sense of aesthetics. I mean, good luck explaining why all the ugly-ass skeletonized trash that no one would choose as the most comfortable option irl has amazing stats in game. Or why the Zhukov stock on the AK has both better recoil and ergo than the Kocherga, when irl the Kocherga would bring the stock much more in line with the bore than the Zhukov, implying that it ought to reduce the amount by which the weapon pulls upwards with each shot. I've tried the Hera Arms crap on an airsoft rifle and it was the least comfortable thing I've ever held, and yet in Tarkov it has good stats. Or hey, how about the way foregrips work? I've tried both the Magpul RVG and the KAC VPG on two different rifles (a military issue G3 variant and my own Sig 516) and for me personally there is absolutely no meaningful difference whatsoever until I shoot from prone, at which point the KAC can be used as a monopod whereas the RVG is too short for that, making the KAC objectively better. But hey, the RVG is objectively better ingame. Oh, I also have the Strike Industries Cobra, which I find completely useless for my purposes. I could see it being good on a CQB rifle for someone who doesn't like foregrips normally, just mount it close to the end of the rail so you can lean on it when shooting from some types of cover, for instance. Very niche use case. And yet, in Tarkov it's objectively way better than the KAC and often preferable to the Magpul, too. Hell, while we're at it, the B5 SOPMOD stock is one of the most popular ones in reality, because it's very good. Now give me one reason to ever use it in Tarkov. I bet when they add the M-16 stock eventually, it'll be trash. Meanwhile I really want to replace the telescoping stock on my Sig with that thing because it's actually not one bit worse, I have no need for the telescoping functionality, and I like the clean look of the M-16 stock. Edit: Forgot one of the most egregious ones. In reality the Magpul CTR is just a Magpul MOE stock with an extra friction lock that fixes it to the buffer tube and prevents any slop. The CTR is simply objectively a better stock than the MOE. And yet in game, once you add the rubber pad to the MOE (which is included in the CTR model by default and you can't remove it), the MOE has better stats. The modding in general provides far more effect than it does in reality. It's just there to provide gear progression as you level up, since at the end of the day Tarkov is an RPG. Don't take it too seriously.
people have hated on this and the asval but they have always been bops. Even at the vals lowest point it still had higher pen and damage ammo it just became an smg. Mcx has always been good people just dont train with their guns to learn the recoil enough because you go through guns quickly in this game.
Actually you're right I've only ever used the long barrel because the short doesn't seem to be useful at all... The KAC suppressor I normally use but the SRDN is quieter and less burn if that interests you. The KAC attachment also gives you a very small MOA boost iirc
Can we bring in another change, if Pscav kills a player, and another pscav kills the pscav, they get more than a 1 point deduction with Fence. Its so annoying, fighting a guy with an Osprey, somehow winning, only for another Pscav to kill you 10 metres from the exfil for the loot. If killing PMC's gets you points with Fence, Killing a Pscav who has killed a PMC as a Pscav should result in a negative points equal to what the Pscav wouldve got for exfilling and killing the PMC.
Man I have been waiting on this video. The MCX has always been my favorite gun aesthetically, but it’s always been terrible to use. I’m late to this wipe, so I still can’t reliably use it yet, but I’ll be able to soon.
So i bought this game on the second or third wipe, but never got into it, I recently finally got into the game after ground zero was released, im now lvl 30 with 35 mil, is that a good amount of roubles for my level? Should I grind more or do quests now, I have around 700 raids but have been mostly looting and not doing quests.
you could do quests all the time but I understand that it's your first real wipe Questing in tarkov is very important (even more than having 35 mil cash) because it gives you access to ammo and attachments / guns. They also give you lots of XP. With 700 raids you could easily be lvl 50+ at this point if you had continously quested. No worries though - with your big bank account you'll be able to buy at least class 4 kits all the time from the flea and build good guns with decent ammo. I'd recommend using some of the Western assault rifles and SMGs since they are generally more effective in CQB and that's where most of the fights happen. Guns like the M4, G36, HK416, MCX are very good for playing aggressive and that's what you should aiming for to improve your pvp skills (I assume you haven't had much pvp yet) Since you already invested a lot of time try to upgrade your hideout as quickly as possible (you'll need trader rep for some of them) so you can start crafting lots of ammo. Good luck o7
I dunno its fine at somewhat close range but the horizontal recoil makes it feel unreliable. If other ammo was more available i dont think we'd be talking about the mcx
even though it has high horizontal recoil I think it is perfectly fine up until 50m to mag dump it In my book that's enough to win every fight in which you'd even attempt to mag dump It needs to be set to single fire for further engagements though but I think that people who run this gun will know how to flip the switch. The mcx is a hk416 competitor and should be treated as such. If you don't like the hk416 this gun is not for you
@@framekixrr yeah. This may be happen sooner or later, but i like PVP, so... for me its fun. I need a good experience em game. Sit in a corner its not fun to me. Fun to me is run, try a pixel, shoot, get another angle, another position... Even when i die.
Level 4 traders really just feel impossible to get unfortunately. I haven’t been playing as much lately and have been stuck at level 32 for a couple weeks now. That’s after finishing 3 or 4 quests and quite a few successful raids of pmc and scab kills. No idea how I’m gonna get further levels moving forward.
You need to do multiple quests at once on maps. Use the wiki to know what to do in them. Also do the dailies and try to refresh them when they're bad (be careful lf the reputation hit). You can easily do 3 - 4 quests per raid until level 45-50, avoid fights if you die often.
As an Angry scav I killed 2 pmc’s and claimed 2 mcx with a ton of that experimental ammo but gear fear strikes so they are just sitting on my gun rack hahahaha
I knew this video was coming. It was great to use it while ammo was available. Knowing BSG, ammo will be restricted soon.
Right after he put out the video about .366 APM, it got banned on the flea. I predict the same for this cartridge
Even if they don't ban it, CBJ has already been skyrocketing in price, and this will make it much worse

it's already cut in half compared to last wipe. I think it's in a good place right now and don't think bsg will do anything to .300
lmao my thoughts exactly
BSG about to nerf availability for anything that you dont unlock with lv4 traders and 20 lightkeeper streets quests

I find it too easy to get 40+ pen ammo though, so no need to worry about hitting those soft spots. It feels much better when you move up a tier.
I'm the one who asked about the gun build thank you for the full vid now! 🙌

MCX raid proceed to play VPO :D
Exactly what I wanted to say
Same.
Any gun that can use the CQR foregrip must do so, for spacegun points. It's the law.

Could always go spt for the footage just gotta cut the raid id off the screen

Love and hate when a quiet build goes in a video. It’s like a favorite underground artist blowing up
This is the kind of quality tarkov content that we need. You’re saying what we were all thinking. Love you mwaa
The minute he posted this vid, BSG removed all .300 ammo from the flea lol
WOW that ending! Worth it.
the MCX was always good! This is the third wipe its good everyone is just now catching on!
It was even better when CBJ was not available only on level 4 PK. Without CBJ it's just meh, so *yet another* gun that was pushed away from mid-wipe options, which is a shame.

Cbj is 3500roubles per round on the flea
Goes as ‘low’ as ~1.5-2k per round if you get it off-peak hours, haven’t seen it lower
Why not long barrel ?
There isn't one for the MCX only MPX
@@SmithyD86 absolutely not bro. Furthermore longer barrel allows you to use more suppressors
